RESUMEN
Genetic instability is a feature of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with adverse prognosis. We hypothesized that chromosomal translocations or complex karyotypes and distinct somatic mutations may impact outcome after first-line chemoimmunotherapy of CLL patients. We performed metaphase karyotyping and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 85 genes in pretreatment blood samples obtained from 161 patients registered for CLL11, a 3-arm phase 3 trial comparing frontline chlorambucil (Clb) vs Clb plus rituximab (Clb-R) or Clb plus obinutuzumab in CLL patients with significant comorbidity. Chromosomal aberrations as assessed by karyotyping were observed in 68.8% of 154 patients, 31.2% carried translocations, and 19.5% showed complex karyotypes. NGS revealed 198 missense/nonsense mutations and 76 small indels in 76.4% of patients. The most frequently mutated genes were NOTCH1, SF3B1, ATM, TP53, BIRC3, POT1, XPO1, and KRAS Sole chemotherapy, treatment with Clb-R, or genetic lesions in TP53 (9.9% of patients) and KRAS (6.2% of patients) were significantly associated with nonresponse to study therapy. In multivariate models, complex karyotypes and POT1 mutations (8.1% of patients) represented significant prognostic factors for an unfavorable survival, independently of IGHV mutation status, Binet stage, and serum ß-2-microglobuline. Patients with the copresence of complex karyotypes and deletions/mutations involving TP53 demonstrated a particularly short survival. In summary, this is the first prospective, controlled study in CLL patients that shows a role of complex karyotype aberrations as an independent prognostic factor for survival after front-line therapy. Moreover, the study identifies mutations in KRAS and POT1 as novel determinants of outcome after chemoimmunotherapy using chlorambucil and anti-CD20 treatment.

The present study inferred the genetic mating system in a natural breeding population of the Jabiru Stork (Jabiru mycteria), a Neotropical wading bird considered endangered in part of its distribution range. Based on data from eight microsatellite loci, maximum-likelihood kinship reconstruction techniques, parentage assignment analyses and effective population size (Ne) estimates were applied to samples collected in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland (N = 45 nestlings from 20 nests; N = 17 shed adult feathers from 11 nests). The relationship diagnosis was determined for most of the complete clutches (86.66 %): 92.31 % were full siblings and 7.69 % were half siblings. Shed feathers collected from the nests matched the genetic parents of the offspring in 80 % of cases. Feathers collected from the ground below the nests were compatible with the putative parents in 41.67 % of cases. A mean Ne of 35 reproductive individuals was inferred, corresponding to an Ne/Nc ratio of 0.09, which is similar to the ratio found in populations of a number of different wild animals. The higher proportion of full siblings identified in the broods suggests that genetic monogamy is the prevalent mating system in the Jabiru Stork, while the detection of half siblings suggests some degree of extra-pair paternity. The present findings are in agreement with previous ecological observations of social monogamy in this species, despite the isolated evidence of extra-pair copulation events. This study also demonstrates the usefulness of a noninvasive approach to sampling adults and performing parentage and relatedness analyses in an elusive, threatened species.

OBJECTIVES: Internal tandem duplications (ITDs) of the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ( FLT3) gene occur in 13-35% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FLT3-ITD is associated with poor clinical outcome and is an indication for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). METHODS: To investigate FLT3-ITD length, position, and mutational load in AML cases, we developed patient-specific quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays and correlated the results with established sensitive minimal residual disease (MRD) parameters and clinical outcome. RESULTS: In 409 patients with AML, FLT3-ITDs could be detected in 54 cases (13%). Within our cohort, patients with FLT3-ITD ≥ 45 base pairs had significantly higher relapse rates (P = 0.03) and a worse overall survival (P = 0.03). Our method could be applied to 97% of FLT3-ITD-positive patients and was as sensitive as other MRD parameters such as PML-RARA , NPM1 mutations, or MLL -PTD (correlation: r = 0.63; 0.99, and 0.99, respectively). MRD negativity predicted lasting remission independent of allo-SCT (N = 7) or non-allo-SCT (N = 9). All paired diagnostic/relapsed samples showed FLT3-ITD positivity. Compared with bone marrow samples, FLT3-ITD analyses appeared to be equivalently sensitive in peripheral blood. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that individualized monitoring of FLT3-ITD in patients with AML may guide treatment decisions and should be evaluated for the indication for allo-SCT.

Sedentary organisms that are at top trophic levels allow inference about the level of local mercury contamination. We evaluated mercury contamination in feather tissue of nestling Wood Storks (Mycteria americana), sampled in different parts of the Brazilian Pantanal that were variably polluted by mercury releases from gold mining activities. Levels of mercury in feathers sampled in seven breeding colonies were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and the mean value of mercury concentration was 0.557 µg/g, dry weight (n=124), range 0.024-4.423 µg/g. From this total sample, 21 feathers that represent 30% of nestlings collected in Porto da Fazenda and Tucum colonies, in the northern region, ranged from 1.0 to 4.43 µg/g, dry weight (median value=1.87 µg/g). We found significant differences among regions (H=57.342; p=0<0.05). Results suggest that permanently flooded areas, or along mainstream rivers are more contaminated by mercury than dry areas, regardless of the distance from the gold mining center, which is located in the northern Pantanal. Highest values found in nestlings feathers were similar to those found in feathers of adult birds and in tissues of adult mammals that are less sedentary and were captured in the same region of Pantanal. These findings indicate that mercury released has been biomagnified and it is present in high concentrations in tissues of top consumers. We suggest a program to monitor mercury availability in this ecosystem using sedentary life forms of top predators like Wood Storks or other piscivorous birds.

We described the geographic distribution of 82 haemosporidian lineages (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon) in the cattle egret sampled in five countries in central-western and southern Africa. Seventy-three lineages have not previously been reported. We determined the prevalence of three haemosporidians in the samples. We investigated the influence of the internal environment of the host and environmental variables on the Plasmodium diversity and whether environmental variables may explain spatial variations in the prevalence of Plasmodium. We screened DNA from 509 blood samples from nestlings in 15 African colonies for infection by sequencing the cytochrome b gene of parasites. The molecular phylogenetic analysis was performed using Bayesian methods and including sequences from the MalAvi and GeneBank databases. We found 62 new Plasmodium lineages in a clade with MYCAME02, which is a lineage described in waterbirds and recently identified in birds of prey as Plasmodium paranucleophilum. Two Haemoproteus lineages identified in cattle egret formed a distinct group with Haemoproteus catharti and MYCAMH1 (Haemoproteus spp.). Seven Leucocytozoon lineages found in the cattle egret clustered with Leucocytozoon californicus. We found different Plasmodium diversities among the colonies sampled, demonstrating that the internal environment of the host is not the primary determinant of diversity. A linear mixed-effects multivariate model showed that precipitation was positively associated with Plasmodium diversity when controlling for the effects of temperature, colony composition (mixed and non-mixed species) and country. Moreover, a generalized mixed model showed that temperature was positively associated with the prevalence of Plasmodium when controlling for precipitation, elevation and country. We conclude that the cattle egret is a good model for future haemosporidian studies, as we found a significant number of new lineages in this host, which occupies regions with different climate characteristics where environmental variables exert an influence on the diversity and prevalence of Plasmodium.

RESUMEN
Aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft (ie, Ross procedure) is a technique used in selected cases for the treatment of aortic valve disease. Aware of reports describing chronic complications after the Ross procedure such as aortic insufficiency, right ventricular outlet obstruction, aortic autograft dilatation, and pulmonary allograft stenosis, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in individuals who had a previous Ross procedure (range 2 to 10 years earlier) to determine if these complications could be visualized by MRI. This case study presents the MRI findings of 5 patients (mean age: 42.0+/-7.8 years). In each patient, complications of the Ross procedure were observed. These results suggest that cardiac MRI has the potential to become a clinically important technique for evaluating post-Ross procedure patients.

The present study evaluated the effect of a 20-week concurrent training program on bone metabolism in elderly women. The sample consisted of 51 elderly women living in the municipality of Muriaé (MG), distributed into two groups: a concurrent training group (CTG = 25), with an average age of 69.44 ± 6.82 years, and a control group (CG = 26), with mean age of 68.30 ± 6.34 years. Biophysical parameters were determined based on weight, height and body mass index. Bone metabolism was assessed by collecting second-morning urine samples before and after intervention to analyze levels of the biochemical marker deoxypyridinoline (DPD), which quantifies bone resorption. Results: The results showed a post-intervention decline in DPD content in the GTC when compared to controls (p = 0.007) and an improvement in the variables weight, BMI and DPD between the GTC and GC (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Concurrent training was efficient in improving bone metabolism in the elderly population studied.
El presente estudio evaluó los efectos de 20 semanas de entrenamiento concurrente sobre el metabolismo óseo de adultas mayores. La muestra fue compuesta por 51 mujeres adultas mayores, residentes en el municipio de Muriaé (MG), voluntarias, distribuidas en dos grupos, un grupo participó en entrenamiento concurrente (GTC=25), con una edad media de 69,44±6,82 años y un grupo control (GC=26) con una media de 68,30±6,34 años. Los parámetros biofísicos se determinaron por medio del peso corporal, la estatura e índice de masa corporal. Para la evaluación del metabolismo óseo, se realizó la recolección de la orina matinal en el pre y post-test, utilizando como reactivo el marcador bioquímico de deoxipiridinolina (DPD) que cuantifica la reabsorción ósea. Los resultados mostraron una reducción en la concentración de DPD en el GTC cuando se compararon los grupos (p = 0,007) y la mejora de las variables, peso corporal, IMC y DPD entre el GTC y el GC en el post-test (p = 0,000). Se percibe que el entrenamiento concurrente, para las mujeres adultas mayores fue eficiente en la mejoría de las condiciones de salud del metabolismo óseo.

O período de intervenção da pesquisa ocorreu durante 20 semanas. A avaliação da CF foi feita pela Escala de Atividade da Vida Diária (AVD) proposta por Katz, associada à Escala das Atividades Instrumentais da Vida Diária (AIVD) proposta por Lawton. Para o treinamento de força muscular, usou-se carga máxima entre 70-85% de 1RM e no treinamento de resistência cardiovascular optou-se pelo uso de 70-89% da FC de reserva. Os resultados apresentam melhorais estatisticamente significativas na escala de CF de Lawton (Δ% = 21,04%, p = 0,007) e na escala de CF de Katz, (Δ% = 7,31%, p < 0,001) comparados com os do GC. Os resultados possibilitam concluir que a prática do treinamento combinado melhorou a CF de idosas.
Abstract The study was based on evaluating the effects of 20 weeks of concurrent training on the functional capacity of elderly. 66 elderly women were divided by randomization into two groups, a concurrent training group (CTG, n = 33, with 69,12 ± 7,00 years) and a control group (CG, n = 33, with 69,21 ± 6,60 years). The study intervention period occurred during 20 weeks. The evaluation of the CF was made by the Daily Life Activity Scale (ADL) proposed by Katz, associated with the Scale of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) proposed by Lawton. For muscle strength training, maximum load was used between 70-85% of 1RM and in cardiovascular resistance training, 70-89% of reserve HR was used. The results show statistically significant improvement in CF Lawton scale (Δ% = 21,04%, p = 0,007) and CF scale Katz (Δ% = 7.31%, p < 0,001) compared to the control group. The results allow to conclude that the practice of concurrent training improved CF elderly.

RESUMEN
The chromosomal translocation (11;14)(q13;q32) rearranging the locus for cyclin D1 (CCND1) to that of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) can be found in virtually all cases of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), while other CCND1 translocations are extremely rare. As CCND1 overexpression and activation is a hallmark of MCL it is regarded as a central biological mechanism in the development and maintenance of this disease.Here we present a patient initially diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) where chromosome banding analysis revealed, among other aberrations, a translocation (11;22)(q13;q11.2). We show by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis that on chromosome 22 the immunoglobulin light chain lambda (IGL) is involved in this cytogenetic aberration. Additionally, we demonstrate the resulting overexpression of CCND1 on the RNA and protein level, thereby consolidating the new diagnosis of a MCL-like B-cell neoplasia. Summing up, we described a rare case of t(11;22)(q13;q11.2) in a MCL-like neoplasia and showed that this aberration leads to an overexpression of CCND1 which is regarded as a key biological feature in MCL. This case underlines the importance of cytogenetic analyses especially in atypical cases of B cell lymphomas.
RESUMEN
A perda da autonomia funcional no idoso relaciona-se não somente com a limitação no estado físico, mas também a função cognitiva e psíquica, tornando-o mais inativo no meio social em que convive. Dessa forma, é de suma importância à inserção do idoso em programas que estimulem a prática regular de exercício físico e o convívio social. O presente estudo centrou-se em avaliar os efeitos de um programa de treinamento concorrente sobre a autonomia funcional de idosas pós-menopáusicas. Foram selecionadas 51 idosas, residentes no município de Muriaé (MG), voluntárias, distribuídas em dois grupos, um grupo treinamento concorrente (GTC=25), com média de idade de 69,44±6,82 anos e um grupo controle (GC=26) com média de idade de 68,30±6,34 anos. Os parâmetros biofísicos foram estimados por meio da massa corporal, estatura e índice de massa corporal. A avaliação da autonomia funcional foi feita pela bateria de testes do Grupo de Desenvolvimento Latino-Americano para a Maturidade (GDLAM), composta de: caminhar 10m (C10m), levantar-se da posição sentada (LPS), levantar-se da posição decúbito ventral (LPDV), levantar-se da cadeira e locomover-se pela casa (LCLC) e o teste de vestir e tirar uma camiseta (VTC). Após a intervenção, o GTC apresentou um valor fraco nos testes C10m e LPDV; regular nos testes LCLC, VTC e no índice de GDLAM e bom no teste LPS. Os resultados mostraram que o GTF no pós-teste apresentou melhores resultados em todas as variáveis da autonomia funcional, exceto no teste de LPDV (p=0,057) em relação ao GC (p<0,0125). Na avaliação intragrupos no GTC, encontrouse diferenças estatisticamente significativas para os testes de autonomia funcional C10m (p=0,007), LPS (p=0,000) e IG (p=0,007). Esta pesquisa confirma que a prática regular de exercício físico é essencial para a restauração e controle da autonomia funcional na população de idosos.(AU)
The loss of functional independence in the elderly is related not only to the limitation in physical state, but also the cognitive and mental function, making it inactive in the social environment in which lives. Thus, it is of paramount importance to the insertion of the elderly in programs that encourage the regular practice of physical exercise and social interaction. This study focused on evaluating the effects of a concurrent training program on functional autonomy of postmenopausal elderly. 51 elderly were selected residents in the city of Muriaé (MG), volunteers, divided into two groups, a concurrent training group (CTG=25), with a mean age of 69.44±6.82years and a control group (CG=26) with mean age of 68.30±6.34 years. The biophysical parameters were estimated using the body mass, height and body mass index. The assessment of function0061l autonomy was made by the test battery of the Latin American Development Group for Maturity (LADGM), composed of: walk 10m (W10m), rising from a sitting position (RSP), rising from a recumbent position ventral (RRPV), rising from a chair and walk around the house (RCWH) and the test of wear and take a T-shirt (WTT). After the intervention, the CTG offered very little value in W10m and RRPV tests; regular in RCWH testing, WTT and index LADGM and good in RSP test. The results showed that the CTG in the post-test showed better results in all the variables of the functional autonomy, except in the test RRPV (p=0.057) compared to the CG (p <0.0125). In intragroup evaluation in CTG, we found statistically significant differences in the functional autonomy tests W10m (p=0.007), RSP (p=0.000) and index LADGM (p=0.007). This research confirms that regular physical activity is essential for the restoration and control of the functional autonomy of the elderly population.(AU)
